My Miffy stash from Holland

Miffy, the famous white rabbit with the cross "X" as it's mouth also known as Nijntje, was created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. I had always thought Miffy was a Sanrio character and only realized my mistake a few years back. I just have an unexplainable fondness for this white rabbit since I was young and I still remember vaguely that I used to have this Miffy print bed sheet cover when I was a little girl.

So, when I got the chance to visit Amsterdam, I simply can't resist grabbing some Miffy merchandise.

Here are my Miffy stash from Holland. A plushie, ceramic bowl and a ceramic cup. Just these 3 items cost me over €40. It's so expensive! I bought them at this 100%Holland souvenir shop in Dam Square. I bought the cup and plush toy at €11.50 and €21.50 respectively. Imagine my anguish when I discovered that they were selling at €7 and €19.90 at a toy shop in Airport!! Arghhhh!!! However they do not have the Miffy plates and bowls. So, Miffy fans out there, if you happened to visit Amsterdam, get your cups, plush toys and whatever Miffy stuffs at the airport instead. As for the bowls and plates, get it at the Dam Square store and it's only just €9.
